Discover the Art of 1880 Turron
When you bite into an 1880 Alicante Crunchy Almond Turron, you are not just tasting a confectionery; you are indulging in a piece of history. Originating from the artisan hands in Jijona, Alicante, this turron is crafted by the legendary 1880 brand, known for centuries for their impeccable craftsmanship and commitment to traditional recipes.
The Quintessence of Quality Ingredients
At the heart of this turron lies the noble Marcona almond, a varietal prized for its lush, buttery texture and sublime flavor. Cultivated in the sun-drenched regions of Eastern Spain, these almonds represent 65% of the turron’s composition, delivering a rich, nutty signature that is both filling and fulfilling. Skilfully balanced with 15% of premium Valencia orange blossom honey, the turron unfurls layers of sweet and floral notes that captivate the senses.
Accompanying these stellar ingredients are the supporting players: sugar, syrup, egg white, and a hint of potato starch, which ensures that every bite remains enchanting and crisp.
Traditional Craftmanship
The making of 1880 Turron is both an art and a science. The almonds are gently roasted to drive out their fullest aroma and crunchy texture. The honey and sugar are expertly simmered to create a malleable syrup that embraces the almonds, aerated with whipped egg whites to achieve the nougat’s characteristic whiteness and crispness.
This mix is poured into bespoke molds lined with an edible thin wafer to encapsulate the turron’s glory, before being left to cool and harden naturally. This intricate process ensures a brittle texture that breaks with a satisfying snap.
A Cultural Confection
More than a delectable treat, turron is deeply embedded in Spanish cultural traditions. Historically enjoyed as a Christmas delicacy, the 1880 Alicante Crunchy Almond Turron has transcended its festive origins to become a year-round delicacy, reflecting Spain’s evergreen celebration of its gastronomic roots.
